Victorinox Swiss Army Rambler Pocket Knife

This one knife has all the things I ever really need. I can't tell you how many times the philips screw driver, the scissors, and the bottle opener came in handy (and with the red knife on my keychain, it's made finding my keys easier).

I have purchased three of these (lost two at the airport so don't take them with you) and they have all lasted for years. The blade and scissors have stayed sharp and never needed to be sharpened.

This is, by far, the best and most compact little Swiss Army knife out there.

The rambler knife is now what I keep in my pocket instead of the Classic. The slight increase in bulk and weight is more than made up for in the excellent Phillips head screwdriver and the bottle opener. The scissors, toothpick, tweezers and the nail file are essentially the same as on the Classic.

this is the keychain / keyfob knife you want... its the SAK classic with a bottle opener and phillips screwdriver and its still small and light enough to be enjoyable to have on your keychain.

This knife is amazing. It has so many features in one small package. It is the best knife going for professional people (who occasionally do quick fixes) who need a non bulky multi-facetted performance. I highly recomend it.

Few, if any, of us will ever scale a fish, gut a deer, skin a bear, or cut off our own arm to get out of a bind. A least on a daily basis. But we will use this tool. (If you need to live in the wild, or on the edge, get something else!)

I've carried this model every day for more than ten years. It is so small I typically don't know I have it with me. I've used it nearly every day. Whereever I am, and whatever I'm doing, it's the first tool I reach for. Nine time out of ten, it gets the job done.

Ok, I'm a classic "white-collar" worker (a lawyer). But I can do most everything I need a tool for with the Rambler. And it's durable. In ten years I had two! The first is still usable and resides in my desk drawer so I don't have to stand up to get one. I use them that much.

But be careful. They don't help you board airplanes, or get into federal courthouses. Used as a weapon they could inflict a pretty severe "paper cut." But it would be hard to get more "bang for the buck."
